By the Sea

Here are some photos of a new 25"x45" wall quilt I’m just finishing up for a pattern called “By the Sea.” (Thanks to my friend, DeLane Rosenau, who came up with the name!) It is made with a great new fabric collection by Moda called “The Hamptons” by Minick & Simpson, which will be available in quilt shops in October. The pattern features a large appliquéd crab, lobster and starfish. The pieces are big, so they are not hard to appliqué, and it goes together quickly with an easy-peasy pieced border. A little detail quilting gives the creatures some personality. This is pattern BMR119. The retail price is $10.
